A bright-thinking couple have launched a new business venture - after transforming a former horsebox into a mobile bar.

Jennifer and Carmen Thornton came up with the idea to convert the mobile structure into a trendy travelling bar after being unable to find a similar thing for their own wedding last year.

Having purchased their box in February, 27-year-old Carmen, a support worker, spent hours out in the snow through winter converting it into a boutique wandering venue.

Kitted out with every tipple you’d ever yearn for, Trailer Maid also has a quirky feature which is sure to impress.

Shot and shot

One of their unique offerings, is a shot and shot service. They offer a shot of your choice with a polaroid for you to keep to remember your great day.

At one end, guests can go into the mobile bar to have a Polaroid picture taken of themselves – with props if they wish – and the experience is finished off with a shot of alcohol.

Jennifer, who works as a property investor and letting agent, said: “We had our wedding reception in a marquee – we came up with the idea because it was something similar to what we were looking for, but couldn’t find.

“We purchased the horsebox from a lovely couple in Moretonhampstead at the beginning of February – it had been used for years but its life as a horsebox was at an end.

“That's when we decided to take it on and turn it into the beautiful mobile bar that it is today.

“My wife spent hours of the winter out in the snow, painting and sanding and repainting and re-sanding until the box was ready.

"We had an open day in April and have since taken a deposit for our first booked-in wedding.”

Trailer Maid has a range of packages available and can cater for any event, from weddings to corporate get togethers.
